Excellent service. Friendly, kind and professional. We were touched by Chris walking in front of the hearse from home to the chapel.

This is the second time we’ve used R P Byrom, each time they have been so helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, they keep you informed every step of the way and have a lot of sympathy and compassion. Definitely would use again.

    I have used Byron's before for my Fathers Funeral and now returned for the funeral of my Wife. Byron's service is exeptionally good. The are quietly and unobtrusively efficient as well as beiing very careing and helpfull. As a retired vicar I have seen a fair number of Funeral Directors in action, that you could describe as "The good , the bad, and the ugly," and they certainly stand out as the leaders of the good category. I would unreservedly reckomend them.

    Truly amazing, Chris organised everything I wanted for my fathers final journey and even called to check we were ok before the day. Can’t thank them enough for all they did. Very professional and compassionate from start to end. 

  • 5 A Hemmings 2nd Feb 2022

    At a time of huge stress and difficultly Roger and Chris did everything they possibly could to ease the burden and make the planning and delivery of the funeral as seamless as possible. There is nothing more they could have done and we are hugely grateful to them for their professionalism, care and compassion.

  • 5 M French 22nd Jul 2021

    I don't often leave reviews, but felt the service we received from Chris at RP Byrom was excellent at what was a very difficult time for the family. The service was professional and courteous, with Chris always being available and helpful without ever being intrusive.

  • 5 J Burgess 1st Jul 2021

    After losing our Dad suddenly we went to see Chris at Byrom and Son. Chris was professional, supportive and guided us through the process of arranging Dad funeral with compassion. I really don’t know what we would have done without him. 

  • 5 H Standen 28th Jun 2021

    Excellent from the start. We were recommended to RP Byrom & Son by a family friend who spoke very highly of them, and we were not disappointed. After losing our Dad relatively young, none of us had ever found ourselves in this situation where we had to plan a funeral.

    Chris at RP Byrom & Son was amazing from start to finish. He really took the weight off of our shoulders and made the day run as perfectly as possible to give our Dad the best send off. We had so many compliments after the service about how well run the service was and how appropriate it all was for our Dad and we could not be more grateful for Chris’ support and expertise. He was very understanding, calm and organized which meant we could fully trust him to make the day special, and he really did. 

    Thank you Chris, you are a star. 

  • 5 A Hargreaves 27th Jun 2021

  • 5 S Godfrey 27th Jun 2021

    From the moment we contacted R P Byrom & Son we felt well looked after.  Chris took us through the process in a compassionate and thoughtful way.  He was always available on the phone if we ever had any questions.  We would highly recommend their services.  

  • 5 P Webb 6th May 2021

    At such a bad time for us Chris and his team made things as stress free as was possible.
    Their attention to detail was perfect and I shall never forget seeing Chris in a top hat with his cane walking slowly leading the hearse carrying my Brother.
    It was moving, solemn and perfect for that moment.... Thank you to everyone at Byrom & Son.

  • 5 Mrs B 22nd Mar 2021

  • 5 C Mason 1st Feb 2021

    Very small funeral but very respectful. Thank you Chris & team

  • 5 John Worby 31st Jan 2021

    R P Byrom & Son Funeral Directors come highly recommended by us, Chris and his team were so very helpful, respectful and polite, guiding us through everything we needed to do. They took on all the organising for the crematorium and the church service at Heanton Church afterwards, such a great help in a time when you really need it. They were even able to provide and run their music system with the music we chose at both locations. We could not have asked for a better service from them, its a big thank you from us.

  • 5 Mrs John 25th Jan 2021

    This was the saddest time of my life. I lost my husband, Den on New Years Day. My son, Paul had all the contact with you going through procedures for the funeral service.  Byrom & Son were very professional. On the day of the funeral, the hearse was brought to my house and everything from done with great dignity and you showed the upmost respect for all the family. I would highly recommend you to anyone in this unfortunate situation.

  • 5 Barry Edwards 16th Jan 2021

    From the start we felt everything was being handled we care and dignity. Chris was exceedingly caring throughout and nothing was too much trouble to arrange or sort out. I can't thank him and his colleagues for looking after my mum on her final journey.

  • 5 Patricia Palmer 15th Jan 2021

    Throughout I was shown compassion, whilst being supported and given relavent information about each stage of the arrangements. Everything was done with dignity, respect and care.
    Thank you Chris and staff at Byroms
